BluePlaylist Music Player

A neat idea for playing a quick playlist of random songs people are putting up. Not sure about the legality of this though, but it's pretty impressive for a one-man student project.

--

Cloud Print Beta

Cloud print allows you to print files from your phone to your printer. In order to do this it uses the new google cloud print service and as this service is still in beta you need to use a special version of Google Chrome for windows in order to be able to use it. Before using this app please configure your pc following this guide: http://www.google.com/chrome/intl/en/p/cloudprint.html

As this app uses a beta service, it is also beta itself so be gentle on the comments :) and don't hesitate in send an email with ideas/suggestions.

Bejeweled 2 by EA Mobile

Bejeweled 2, enough said.

This game is a bit controversial, as at its release last Friday, we found a Verizon-only version that was $5 more than this one and offered no new features. Verizon and EA quickly changed the price shortly after, ahead of a massive Twitter revolt that was brewing up. Verizon users can download an app targeted at their carrier here.

Cloud Print Beta seems a bit fishy. The only thing it appears to be capable of is sending a test page to the printer. Any actual file or picture fails with a reminder to click the embedded ad links to "motivate the developer". Oh, and "let your friends know about this app".

If anyone has successfully printed anything (besides the test page), do tell. I'd love to be proved wrong.

I'm going to retract my "fishy" statement. I got an email reply from the author who seems sincere about the app. I look forward to improved functionality.
